A friend is running a game where the sun god opposes magic, and therefore there is a small chance of spell failure whenever you cast a spell while in sunlight (there are a few exceptions). He added a feat that allows a caster to designate a handful of spells that ignore this penalty, as a result of being attuned to the moon (and the moon goddess, who is the patron of magic). It's by no means a powerful feat; but it does tie my bard more closely to the campaign world and beg the question of what is his relationship to the moon goddess? Is he a worshipper, or simply one who has been blessed by her? (I'm still working that out; he's replacing my previous character who was Donjon'd last game.)Besides, there are only a handful of feats that might be too powerful with the right setup (Great Weapon Master, Sharpshooter, and MAYBE Polearm Master). It's easy enough to ban or tweak those feats to suit your preferences.I'm not suggesting that all groups do or ought to use feats. Do whatever's fun. These are simply the reasons that we use feats in my groups.</blockquote>
